CHAPEL HILL – The NCHSAA Scholar Athlete Program is sponsored by the Governor’s Highway Safety Program’s “Click It or Ticket” initiative and provides certificates of recognition to individual students as well as teams that meet the qualification standards. For individuals to qualify, they must have a 3.5 weighted GPA or higher during the semester under consideration, and for a team to qualify for recognition they must have a combined unweighted GPA of 3.1 or higher during their semester of competition.
The Scholar Athlete Program is the associations largest voluntary program. This year the NCHSAA awarded over 20,000 certificates for the Fall and Winter Sports Season alone, and recognized 949 teams Fall or Winter Sports teams, which is the largest number of teams ever submitted for a single-semester in the history of the program.
The NCHSAA presented a plaque and a cash award to the top team in each sport, based on unweighted team GPA, at the Annual Meeting. The Association also provides a cash award to second and third place teams. The cash awards are $250 for a first-place finishing team, $150 for second and $100 for third.
